Jutland

It can't have escaped many people that 2014 is the centenary of the start of World War One. There will be many poignant commemorations to come in the next four years as key events of the war are remembered.

I have been working a few ideas around the Battle of Jutland, the last major battleship fleet action in history. Most of the Royal Navy's 28 battleships were involved.

After a spot of research I chose to create a view from the Flagship HMS Iron Duke as the 4th Battle Squadron opens fire on the German High Sea Fleet Late afternoon 31 May 1916

Opening the Account, 4th Battle Squadron Jutland 1916

    Lovely piece of work except for the men on deck near the midships turret. If one of those guns fires the blast will kill them. There would not have been men on deck anywhere near a turret going into action. Sorry!
